* {{Expy}}: An ambitious, caustic and scheming matriarch, who would do anything to ensure her family's success to the point of [[spoiler: killing a petty, ineffective king with poison. Also her granddaughter marries into the royal family but is eventually imprisoned for adultery]]. [[Literature/TheAccursedKings Mahault of Artois]] says hello.

* TheManBehindTheMan: Although Mace directs general policy, his mother has a huge hand in ensuring it doesn't explode on the whole family, as well as working towards anything positive that might come from his ideas. [[spoiler:It's outright stated by Littlefinger that she perpetrated the assassination of King Joffrey and framed Tyrion and Sansa for the magnicide -- sure, he orchestrated a lot, but she got down to hammering the brass tacks of the plan herself.

However, he most certainly ''didn't'' need to force her hand behind her back to pull it off. Nor did he have to point the need out to do it.

** Incidentally, in the adaptation of both stories, Margaery in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and Anne Boleyn in ''Series/TheTudors'' are both played by the same actress. Ironically, NatalieDormer has said in interviews that she took the part on the reassurance she wouldn't just be playing Anne Boleyn again, which may explain some of the show's changes to her character arc.
